After walking for about three minutes, they finally arrived at the building where Fang Fang rented a house.
This building has ten floors. Most of the putty powder on the exterior walls has fallen off, and there are many cracks on the walls. Moss and mushrooms grow in the broken parts. In the few relatively clean areas, words are randomly written on them with chalk and paint, which are full of time and vicissitudes of life.
"I live on the fourth floor, room 404," Fang Fang said. "Although the number is unlucky, the rent is cheap. No one else dares to rent it, so it's practically free."
"You're really brave!" Wang Xiaohai said, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Of course I'm afraid!" Fang Fang smoothed the yellow hair from her forehead. "But I'm even more afraid of being poor. Poverty forces me to be bold, and difficulties force me to be brave."
"So your gangster career has no money prospects. You should find an opportunity to change jobs and don't be so stubborn," said Wang Xiaohai.
"I'm going to school now, why should I make money?" Fang Fang said as she walked up the stairs.
Wang Xiaohai followed behind.
"Don't we need to earn money if we study?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Schools in Qingliu City provide food and accommodation, so you don't need to pay any money." Fang Fang replied.
"Food and lodging are provided, so shouldn't shower gel and laundry detergent be free? Shouldn't clothes and pants be free?" Wang Xiaohai asked. "Does the school also provide daily necessities like these?"
"When you have a dorm, just use your roommate's and wear his clothes!" Fang Fang still had a gangster mentality. "You don't use your roommate's and you even spend money to buy him. Are you stupid?"
As they talked, they walked to Fang Fang's accommodation.
Fang Fang fumbled for the key and opened the door. After entering, she turned on the light. The light was dim and obviously the wattage was not high.
"The room you live in is on my right. There are a lot of clutter in it and it's a bit messy. If you don't mind, you can sleep there directly. If you mind, you can clean it up yourself before sleeping." Xuxu said to Wang Xiaohai and unlocked the door on the right.
Wang Xiaohai walked in.
There was no light on inside, and a rotten, damp smell filled his nose. He immediately groped towards the wall, found the switch and turned on the light.
"Wow--"
Wang Xiaohai was shocked by the scene before him——
Instant noodle boxes were piled up almost to the ceiling, all stuffed with greasy paper towels. Plastic bottles were scattered all over the floor. Flies and mosquitoes were circling in the room, and a few centipedes scurried into the cracks in the wall.
Can people live here?
"You take your time to rest. I'm going back to my room to sleep." The little hooligan Fang Fang knew what was going on inside. He ran into his room as if escaping, slammed the door shut, turned on some music and ignored what was happening outside.
"Why did you put so many instant noodle boxes in there?" Wang Xiaohai shouted outside Fang Fang's room.
The music stopped and Fang Fang's voice was heard: "We have a lot of cardboard boxes stored, we can sell them for money!" After that, he turned on the music again.
Wang Xiaohai returned to the utility room helplessly. He stepped on a bottle and almost slipped.
"Who else could live in this room except a ghost?" Wang Xiaohai complained. "If I fall asleep, I'll probably be covered in bugs, and I'll be nothing but a skeleton the next day. The evil spirits will be so scared when they see me that they'll pee and shit!"
"Forget it, I'll just close the door and sleep on a chair in the living room." Wang Xiaohai made up his mind not to sleep in the utility room. It was scarier than evil spirits!
However, Wang Xiaohai was also sleepy today. He fell asleep after sitting on the chair for a few minutes. In a daze, he felt his head tilted and suddenly woke up. Then he changed his position and continued to sleep. However, the chair was too narrow, and no matter what position he changed to, it looked unnatural. Wang Xiaohai woke up five or six times that night.
